Great stuff! Can we borrow back one of our old Harriers to do it this time round?

Awesome stuff. Such a shame that it's pretty much the end of your career if you try something like that in any aircraft.

Wow. Brilliant stuff, but can you imagine the carnage if something had gone wrong.

OK, his flying career was over, but they discharged him on medical grounds, meaning he kept all his dues. Presumably it would have drawn attention to the government and a defence policy that couldnt stand up to scrutiny if they court martialled him. When his case was heard, finally 14 yrs later, he was partially exonerated !! Did the trbiunal listening to that agree Wilson and Sandys were prats ? (not much argument from me...)

 

In present times, the time to have done this was definitely the Harrier's last flight last year. Most of those pilots are probably out of the RAF now anyway.

It's lucky there was an artist on hand to capture the event on canvas.
